The aboriginal peoples and the Canadian government entered the Treaty negotiations hoping to achieve dichotomous ends. Concerned over white settlement and diminishing buffalo herds, the Indians sought to use the concessions granted them under the Treaties to ensure their cultural survival. The government, on the other hand, considered the Numbered Treaties a means of achieving the goal of their Indian policy, namely bringing about the assimilation of the Indian into Euro-Canadian society.</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">treaty, history</style></custom1><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/688688048</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humanities Bibliography</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
